Many leaders face difficulty not in creating a strategy, but in seeing it through—especially in distributed teams. This course provides a solution by guiding you through the hoshin kanri (strategy deployment), ensuring your team stays on track toward achieving annual objectives. Get practical takeaways, not just theories, that empowers you to apply new skills as you progress. Leave with a clear framework to overcome common execution obstacles, ways to engage every level of your organization, and learn how to break down strategic goals into actionable steps.

By participating in Managing on Purpose with Hoshin Kanri (formerly Hoshin Kanri (strategy deployment)), you will benefit from a combination of instruction, coaching, and peer learning—creating a rich environment where you can practice, reflect, and refine your approach to strategy deployment. The simulation-based case study will mirror a real-world application. Complete Assignments between live sessions to apply lessons. If you’re ready to move from planning to action, this course will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to make it happen.

Note: This course does not teach the X-matrix.

Learning Objectives
